Recombinant N-acetylglucosamine kinase, pyruvate kinase, N-acetylglucosamine phosphate mutase, uridine 5′-diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine pyrophosphorylase, and inorganic pyrophosphatase were overexpressed in E. coli and co-immobilized on agarose beads for the practical synthesis of uridine 5′-diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine.
